When I was a kid...

HA! Loved it! I do some of that with my kids. We talk about TV-we had the 3 stations growing up and they all shut down around 12.

We had four, but one was a UHF (above channel 13) PBS station and nobody watched it.

Back on the farm (yee-haw) our phone didn't even have a DIAL!

Mrs. DeltAlum was a farm girl. No wonder I like your posts so much.

Girls would hibernate in their dorms, waiting for THAT phone call which NEVER came. When it did ring, it was the jerk you tried avoding all week.

Damn. I'd forgotten about dorm phones. We had one phone per floor section in the hallway. It had different rings for each room. One time someone answered it and knocked on our door saying it was the FBI for me. I said "right." It really was. A high school friend was applying for a job and had used me as a character reference.

The guys-those poor, poor dears, had to settle for National Geographic or, like you said get some guy to buy it for them.

Unsolicited plug. This months National Geographic has a photo spread on Athens and Ohio U. done by the students in the Visual Communications Department there. That's the department oldest daughter graduated from. It's the article on zip code 45701. It think it's the first time students have done this kind of thing.

On movies-
I clearly remember when Romeo and Juliet came out, all the guys RUSHED to the theater to see Olivia Hussey's boobs.
...and all the parents thought the boys had been inspired by Shakespear!

Well, I really liked the music.
